“On March 15, National Security Adviser Michael Waltz informed fellow Trump Administration officials through their now-infamous Signal chat that a U.S. missile attack had resulted in the collapse of an apartment building filled with Yemeni civilians. Vice President JD Vance replied, ‘Excellent.’ Democrats on Capitol Hill have since expressed outrage — not at the deaths of innocent civilians, or at the United States’[s] unprovoked attack on a sovereign country, but at the fact that the conversation was not more carefully shielded from the public. The Trump administration claims to have resumed bombing in Yemen to stop the Houthi rebels’ [sic] attacks on shipping vessels in the Red Sea, despite the fact that the Houthis, who serve as the de facto government of much of the country, had ceased those attacks months ago.” (04/14/25)
